Keep reading, here we will explain the step by step of different models of crochet flowers.

1. SIMPLE FLOWER WITH FIVE PETALS The next flower is perhaps the simplest and most basic, since you only have to weave four petals. But, don't be fooled by its simple design, because knowing how to combine it with different colors and other leaves you can make fun and beautiful creations, it all depends on your imagination. To start you only need: yarn in the color of your choice and a crochet hook.

STEP BY STEP Start with six chains and close with a single crochet, to have a small hoop. Then chain four and wrap the yarn around the hook twice so that you have three threads left on it. The next step is to knit five double treble crochets, that is, knit one loop around the ring and then knit another two loops taking one thread from the crochet hook at a time. At the end of the fifth double crochet you close with a slip stitch. So, you have the first petal.

To continue with the next petal, once again chain four and five treble crochets; Continue like this until you have the five petals that make up the flower. In good time you have finished your first flower pattern. 2. CROCHET FLOWERS AND LEAVES IN 3D Another very easy and beautiful pattern for crocheting flowers and leaves is that of 3D flowers, because they give volume to your creations and if you make them in two colors they can also improve the decoration. The best thing about this pattern is that it is as easy as the previous one, here you have the step by step so that you can weave your own. You only need a stable in the color of your choice, green yarn and crochet hook.

STEP BY STEP The first thing you have to do is follow the previous tutorial to weave a simple flower with five petals once you have your complete flower weave four chains (here you can change the stamen to have a flower with two colors), fix it to the center of the flower with a slip stitch, so that a ring is formed on the base of the petal, continue like this until you have a ring for each one. To continue you must knit eight double crochets with two loops each, in each of the five rings. When you finish you will have a flower in two layers, the top one smaller than the first.

To make a leaf that complements your flower, you have to knit 12 chains in green thread, at the end you have to return a chain and make a loop, without finishing the stitch, in the next chain make another loop leaving it a little longer than the previous one , continue like this until chain number seven, remember that each loop must be longer and must remain on your hook, in the following chain continue to draw a loop, but this time it has to measure half the length of the previous one, in the next chain make a smaller yarn over, to close this half you have to knit a stitch taking two yarn overs at the same time.

To make the other half of the leaf, turn the fabric over and follow the steps above, making sure to end with the same loops. To finish off your sheet with a low point. This type of technique is called Tunisian crochet. You can join the leaves to the flower with the help of a low point, between the two or by sewing them with a needle and thread. I change the colors of the flowers and the tones of the leaves so that the ideas of crochet flowers and leaves are more innovative each time.

3. FLOWER WITH LEAVES IN TWO ROUNDS The next flower has the advantage that you can knit it in just two rows. This is one of the easiest crochet flower and leaf patterns, suitable for any beginner. You need yarn in the color of your choice, green yarn and a crochet hook.

STEP BY STEP To start with these crochet flowers and leaves, the first thing you have to do is a magic ring that you will fill with 12 single crochets. In the next step we are going to weave seven chains and we are going to thread them on the third point of our ring, forming an arc. Continue knitting like this another six arcs of seven chains each and leaving a point in the middle. The next thing is to work each of the petals filling them with double crochets, starting with two single crochets and then four half double crochets, followed by two double crochets, with this you have half the petal, for the other half follow this sequence, but at purl, that is to say four half double crochets and then two single crochets. Continue filling in the other seven petals.

For the second round, use the green thread to form the leaves. Now you have to make eight chains to hook it in the points that were left loose in the first round, so you have to continue making another six arcs of eight chains each.

You have to fill each arch with two single crochets, two medium double crochets, four double crochets, in the center of the sheet we make a double double crochet. For the second half of the sheet, follow the same pattern but reversed, four dots, high, two medium high and two low. Continue like this, with each of the six arches, to finish forming the leaves of your flower. Ready!
